(Giveaway [Closed]) Summertime and the Living is...Free!

THIS GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED

My favorite time of year has really, truly arrived. The time of year when all of my favorite things come out: fireflies, fireworks, water parks and watermelon. It's the time of year where I might be the only one older than 15 in the pool but I'm not the only one that smells like sunscreen all the time. Incidentally, I think everyone should wear sunscreen all year round and take every opportunity to swim. Life is short but wide, after all.

As a kid, I was always the first one in the water. Pool, ocean, river, lake, didn't matter to me. Any time I got near anything bigger than a puddle I went in. As a result, anytime I was out of my parents sight, they braced themselves for my returning a sopping, giggling mess.

As an adult, I've learned to keep a swimsuits (and sunscreen) handy to prevent aforementioned sop. And, in an effort to spread the good word, I'm giving away a $50 gift card to SimplyBeach.com to one lucky reader!

After perusing obsessing over their website, I can tell you I have never seen such a good selection of swimwear and lingerie. They have something for everyone, especially those who may have had trouble in this area in the past. I, for example, have enormous breasts AND a sliver of dignity, so I have often struggled myself. They have suits going up to an G cup, and loads of plus-sized, petite-sized and generally all-sized options. They also have a great selection of lingerie. Check out their website here.
What is your swimming style? Do you have a go-to beach outfit?

I am a huge fan of anything vintage, seersucker, or covered in anchors or sailboats. Also highly impractical beach earrings, and a pinup girl scarf to keep my hair back. Bonus points if the scarf has anchors or sailboats on it.
